p.s. i definately can't spell definitely lol

Typos don't bother me, but definitely is so commonly misspelled (because no one pronounces it like de-finite-ly) that I just had to say something.

I feel kind of obnoxious for pointing it out-- but I feel so much better because I've been dying to say it.

i'm trying to fond which one it is

the cover looks dark and the title looks somewhat centered so i think ill prob. be able to tell which one it is

Oy, I can't find anything! Hidden Staircase is the closest thing I see, so if that's not it, I'm going to leave it up to you.

Argh, the two lines on the screen shot look exactly the same length, and the top line on this is a little longer, and it's not nearly centered enough:

Haha, that's cool of you. I know it could have come off as bitchy online, as so many things do, but if I'd been saying it to you in person, it would have been like... uh... a gentle English teacher.

Hmm... I don't think it's any of those three. You can find all the covers of all three of those books here:

Secret in old attic doesnt work, blackwood hall looks too long for that to be the fifth book, velvet mask has too much color and the lines dont line up, and i remember seeing the mysterious manniquin as not working.

The problem is that there is almost no color on the cover and the two lines of the title appear to line up perfectly.

I love my English teacher, she actually makes class enjoyable

I must say that math is a big snooze fest for me

i'm the same way. i don't think i've ever actually met anyone else who i knew could spell it right

i mean i have friends with a genius IQ level and they mispell that darn word. so annoying.

Yeah thats whats so difficult about it

the title lines of The Mysterious Mannequin are the almost aligned though

look at the screencap again, is there a book covering a little of the left of the fifth book? just enough to block out, say, a flashlight?
